Klimp" Int Two of Three llccent - Ones that Are "Worth While.

Never v.-a? there a time whn a fine, interesting book was so hard to come by as now. If the Carnegie libraries are no better than other American libraries they are no great things. The conventions of librarians appear t0 have deviled the library business to such a degree that renowned orks cannot be had In libraries. The women who attend literary clubs and classes yar by year never find out that there is fi:ch a thins as literature; they think that anything In the shape of a. book Is good e rough literature, and so It is for them, nr.! their influence has enormously mult!-' piled the book rubbish of this country. Still there are mases of delightful reading If w. could but pet hold of them. One fascinating book is tho "Life of John Faul Jones." by a man named Puell. This book 1 written with the greatest relish for the bjrct. and the author has had the good f.nr.' to present the letters and journals rf Paul Jones himself for our delectation. Jones was sdf-taught. but he made of himself a scholar, a linguist, a diplomat r.r.d an elegant gentleman. He was a rr.ony maker and h owned a Virginia plantation. When trad. was slack he ran a slaver from the (luinea coast; he commanded the crew of a ship at yeventeen years of a ce. He knew from the first that America was to be 'a great nation. The flint and fteel between him and John Adams show l ow the North and 'South Quarreled even before the revolution. John Paul Jones was fin all-round man of affairs a farmer, a statesman, as well as master of his own profe-iicn, cf sea captain, aud be was a ,

desperate fighter; was all kinds of a fightin? man, as many kinds as you like. He could deal more blows in a second than any "ther man could give in a minute; he was a ways known to be the best man cn board his ship. If insulted he would reply with ravage ferocity. Nobody could snub him. He met a man named Sayer. a liar and u py. at a cafe at Nar.tes. and flew at him and beat him with a bystander's cane before he could be stopped. The man got well in a few days. When he took command of a ship he threw overboard the cat-o'-nlne-talis, but he said if any man needed the cat he would "kill him quick." "Come on. we're waiting for you!" was wont to be his signal to his enemy. He used to be on deck twenty hours out of the twenty-four, if needful, and day and night Insisted on every rag that his ship could carry without lying clear down. No ship was ever crowded as he drove the Ranger. There was only one Paul Jones; he was the captain of captains, his big black eyes looked through every man of his crew; he knew every one. He had the Frenchmen on his ship stark crazy during a sea fight; it took them several days to cool off afterwards. When out of action his crew respectfully requested him to lay them alongside of any English ship to be found in the seas and he told them he would keep a good lookout and exactly conform to their request. The King of England knighted Captain Pearson for standing out against John Paul Jones for a time in a sea fight. "I'll make a lord of him if I meet him again," said Jones. He considered a gale a fair sailing wind and his amazing fighting qualities gave him plenty of prizes, sixteen at one time. He never took pay from Congress, and he used to sell prizes to pay off his crews. The English said that the French fought well under Jones because they had for shipmates a crew of Yankee bullyraggers to show them how. His Yankee seamen were in request to command French warships. O the good writing of colonial times, the good letters, the good diaries! "The trouble with you, Mr. Simpson, is that you have the heart of a lion and the hfad of a sheep," writes Jons to his insubordinate lieutenant, to which Simpson replies: "Now, sir, I will say that I do not pretend to be capable of expressing my thoughts as you can." I should think not. Lively letters they wrote to each other. The log of the Ranger is fine reading it has the true salt llavor. Everything written by John Paul Jones had a touch of genius. Whatever he wrote received attention from the whole world in his time. With all his savage ferocity of temper there was a magic about his way and manner. Lafayette said that Jones possessed peculiar grace and charm. He could keep a dinner party up till daylight, even at Dr. Franklin's. Ho was a great friend, of Franklin's; he adored the unexampled grasp of affairs and incomparable wisdom of Franklin. Paul Jones is always described as dirk, slender and distinguished looking, with delicate features, his attire faultless, hl3 bearing martial and imposing to the last degree. He enjoyed the friendship of the King of France, and of the highest nobility in France, and when he went to England after the war was over he was treated with the highest consideration by the great of England. He received like treatment when he came back to America; his old crews came, long distances to visit him. These men were exactly after Ids own heart. He lived elegantly while in Paris and was happy there. His adventures as admiral of the fleet of the Empress Catharine of Russia are like a novel. His correspondence with the great Suwarrow Is the letter-writing of affectionate friends. John Paul Jones knew most of the great men of his day. He lived on into tho French revolution and was acquainted with Mirabeau, Rarere and the other heads of that movement. His heart turned against the French populace and he wished he had thirty cannon loaded with grape for fheir benefit. He laughed at their "decrees," and he said there was not the making of one Cromwell among the whole of them, and he ridiculed their patriotism. He said that success depends upon a quick resolve and a swift stroke. "The Female Offender," by Caesar Lombroso, is another book full of interesting matter. An observing person cannot help seeing that criminals are simply defective human beings. Criminals can no more be changed and reformed than born idiots can be changed ami reformed; old dame nature has been a niggard to them. Neither can criminals be blamed for what they have done; they can only be guarded and directed and kept out of mischief. Benevolent people are purblind and unobservlng to an amazing degree, cannot perceive facts; therefore the benevolent, with all their exertions, have auded nothing to the stock of knowledge of criminals. Now science steps in with her measurements and recorded observations and tells us what criminals really are. Lombroso's book is a collection of measurements and recorded observations of female convicts. According to these records the female criminals often have crooked teeth, large cheek bones, projecting ears, lumpy, hydrocephalic skulls and big jaws; they have flat noses with bulbous ends; and the murderesses show the worst skull depressions, the crookedest teeth, the flattest and most deformed noses and the biggest jaws. Their photographs adorn Eombroso's book; there they are, noses and all. Criminal women are also distinguished by a dull sense of touch, a tendency to tattooing and a semi-masculinity. For example, the epiglottis of female criminals is large, they have deep voices and their figures are somewhat masculine. Criminal women, as has often been observed, are an example of atavism; they "take back" to the primeval savage. Virility Is a special feature of the savage woman. In brains and muscular capacity the savage woman resembles man; she is superior In muscular strength tc the civilized woman. Ages of selection for marriage have produced the finished feminine woman of to-day. Women criminals are savage women. Women have pre&ter powers of resistance to misfortunes and deep grief than men and are longer lived than men, therefore old female prisoners are more numerous than male. Old female prisoners often have iron constitutions and endure with toughness a prolonged prison life. Born female criminals are terribly cruel, are childishly revengeful and jealous, are lacking in maternal affection. Vengeance plays a great part in the crimes of women. They are unconscious of peril, have no foresight, are greedy for money, yet are too lazy to earn It. The good fortune of others inspires them to hatred. They are often devoutly religious. They are sentimental. A murderess wrote before killing her victim: "I must see the end of it. for there is Paradise. At the end of the road are roses. Ah. memories!" They confound the most monstrous crimes as equally wicked with neglect of religious forms like keeping the Sabbath. Their plan are defective and absurd. They are liar incapable of stating a fact; they immediately forget what they have said. They cannot Invent a plausible lie and cannot keep a secret, therefore often reveal their own crimes. They are given to blows and abuse, arc quick-tempered and given to sudden dislikes and hatreds. Female criminals frequently possess Mongolian features, black eyes and thick black hair. They Continus to tell lies after they be-,

come Insane. Many of them show an epileptic tendency. Their masculine tendencies give them a love of firearms. Female criminals in a sudden fury' of passion sometimes b gin a slow, tenacious mental ferment of cruel instincts that end?, long after, in crime. The virility of the born female criminal gives her a capacity for murderous assault to which the true feminine woman is a stranger. The children of criminals are apt to be epileptic, s.sys Lombroso. Criminals stand next to idiots, are near them. The anthropologists set down divorced people among the immoral classes, and they ulso place hysterical women, slap dab, among the criminal classes. Ixjmbroso says that hysterical women are lovers of idleness, are lovers of calumny, and that they are like children, they laugh before their tears are dry; they are exalted or depressed by trifles, have a desire for adventure, they lack the power of fixing the attention. Moreover, hysterical women are egotistical and their profoundly absorbing preoccupation with themselves makes them love to create sensations. Sometimes they hate their husbands and are indifferent to their children and complain of being neglected. Hysterical women, like epileptics, suffer from fits of melancholy and from hallucinations, and, like born criminals, they have a tendency to theft and to a passion lor dress and they suffer a continual need of agitation and change; sometimes they show an excessive altruism similar to the exaggerated altruism of epileptics. Lornbroso says that all women have a latent antipathy to each other. MARY DEAN. The C'hiip nt Wurmlingen. From the German of Nlcko'aus Lcnau. Like a bark In airy grae. On yon wave-like hillock srern. Heavenward pointing, with a smile, Lo, the chapel stands serene. Once, at sunset's pensive hour. Through its vacant aisle I strayed; Voice of priest und chant of choir SVemed to murmur 'mid the shade. And methousht tho Virgin dear, Pictured o'er the altar lone, Bowed her head. In noly grief, Musing: cn the days agone. Rcpy-hued returns the morn. And the evening, as of yore. Greets the picture with its glow Uut nor.e come to worship more. "While I paused a Ptrange, sweet thrill CJrntly ?t!;red my senses all Kven an if some pious prayer. Ling'rlng, haunted yet the wall. Clear and bright the setting sun lieams upon the chapel still, And its quiet flock of graves Trustful rests without the sill. Fondly Autumn's peace Js shed Where the grave? neglected lie; Through the tranquil air afar IJirds of passage southward fly. Sleep and Hilenco brood supreme; Sunken low Is many a mound; And above, in disarray. Lean the crossed, slumber-bound. And the tree, in evening's breeze. Drops its leaf of colors rare. As a tired and drowsy child Drops his cherished plaything fair. Here my weary worldly cares Fade like morning mists away Death's delicious languor here All my spirit holds In sway. Nat Stein.

To the EJitor of the Indianapolis Journal: Since the rag gatherers are now saving money for all sorts of paper it is strange that dirty people will persist in sweeping their papers into the streets. Judging from the looks of our streets it must be true that our people are all put to the inconvenience of having no strings or wrapping paper In their houses, such things are blowing1 about the city instead of being neatly piled and laid away on nice shelves and in drawers. Why do folks throw away their refuse wood, boxes, brooms, tree branches, ete.. and then suffer for fuel in winter. "Thrift! Thrift!" HORATIO.

Every schoolboy knows that a toad can cause warts or make the cow givi bloody milk, but not everybody knows that toads are also powerfully medicinal. It is a fact. Martin Luther says so. These are his very words: "Experience has proved the toad to be endowed with valuable qualities. If you run a stick through three toads, and, after having dried them in the sun, apply them to any pestilent humor, they draw out the poison, and the malady will disappear." Pope Adrian always carried a bag about his neck containing dried toad, pearl, coral, gum tragacanth, smaragd and other articles of junk. It did him a power of good, he said. It was all that kept him up. And lest you think that they only did that hundreds of years ago, I want to say here that, when my father was a boy and suffered from quin?y they used to tie live frogs about his throat. The frogs nearly clawed the hide off. They did not cure the quinsy, but that's a detail.

I'ndpr the 32non. Up from the shadowr river bonds The tv.ln went Blowly loitering by; And less than lover but more than friend. Took hands to part with a smile and sigh. "The new moon thlnes for luck." Faid he, "But what will it bring; by another year? Will it bring u together, you and me. Together as now 'neath Its crescent here?" Up from the shadowy river bends Through next year moonlight went the twain; And more than lovers, and more than friends. Clasped hands that never should loose train. "Oh, the new moon shone for luck," he said. "Though It saw our parting that by-gone June! And th glimmering crescent has waxed instead To the perfect glory of Jove'a full-moon I" Blanche Trenn or Heath. Chicago.
